62 -322 Selectmen's Meeting December 2, 2002 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, December 2, 2002 in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m. Chairman McSweeney, Mr. Enrich, Mrs. McKenna, Mr. Kennedy; Mr. White, Town Manager; Mr. Lahey, Town Counsel and Ms. Smith, Executive Clerk were present. Public Comments Bob Green of 19 Fair Oaks Drive thanked the Board for a response to his email last Wednesday expressing concern about the lack of completion of the water main project on Fair Oaks Drive. He said he has received a letter from the DPW Director promising to clean up the area and pave it. Rod McNeil of 56 Baskin Road said he has a petition with over 200 signatures asking for a Special Town Meeting regarding field construction at Lincoln Park. Peter Kelly inquired about the upcoming Town Meeting and whether there would be a TMMA information meeting. Mr. White replied he has not heard of any meeting planned. It probably would behoove us to have staff put together just a one -page explanation of what the proposal is that we adopted and get it mailed out to Town Meeting Members. Mr. Kelly said he would like to bring forward an amendment to go back to the start of the program. I also think you don't need to go through opening it up again. People were told they needed to respond by September 30. Any record should be acknowledged. Unibank — Borrowing Unibank Representative David Eisenthal presented the Board with two financing options for February issue for the debt excluded projects (elementary and secondary schools). After several questions from the Board, Finance Director John Ryan indicated he and Mr. Eisenthal would be back with more information showing what costs had been presented to Town Meeting and how the recommended financing options compared to those costs previously presented. Tax Classification Hearing Before the hearing began, Board members and the audience wished Board of Assessors member Bob Foster well and thanked him for his many years of service as he stepped down. Board of Assessors Chair William Jackson reviewed a classification options packet prepared for the hearing. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to set the CIP factor at 1.7 for this year.
